Rewatching my favorite #davidlynch works has made me feel oddly inspired. What a wonderful gift he left us.

Font is hand drawn by me, free on my site.

I added a ton of alternate characters to this font, so if you already downloaded it, the new one is on my site. Font is based on the lettering in the paintings of David Lynch and is free to download.
(Clear your font cache if characters won't show in PS)

Made a new font last night in honor of an artist who has been very influential not only on my work but on the work of so many artists, and we are forever grateful. Free to download on my site.
I'll be adding more variants to this font soon.

Except for Edward Gorey and the Quay Brothers, I can't think of another artist who influenced me as profoundly as David Lynch.

I'm pretty proud of this: two of our reporters have written a series about the role of tribal colleges in Montana and I had the privilege of designing a logo for it. One thing I wanted it to reflect was the role of nature/the environment in Native American culture and I think I pulled it off.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to fllow you.

So this happened. Don't go to PetsMart when they have adoption events or this could happen to you.

The little creature in my profile is a monster I drew for the Missoula Monster Project. I have drawn a monster for that fundraiser every year since 2016! And I am super proud of all of them (can't find 2017 for some reason).

New font. Named for the inspiration and because I was watching The Good Place whilst making it. Download on my site.

Added some characters to my first font, and it's free to download on my site. Use however you wish in whatever you like, I just ask for attribution if used in commercial works. 😊

Found scans of my negatives from my bucket list cemeteries, Pere Lachaise and Highgate. Took these in 1999.

So a lot of lino artists say to paint the lino to make it easier to see what you are doing and it's very smart and totally works, but neglected to mention that it pretty much makes the carbon paper not work. 🙃 I had to redraw it all again with Sharpie.
